knix.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Main-thread work: 5.0 s
A phone's processor spends 5.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4,587 HTML elements
The page has 4,587 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 1.3 MB39 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.3 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 981 KiBAbout 981 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (knix.ca, Klaviyo and rebuyengine.com and others), adding 1.7 MB and 958 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 60
60/100Your mobile performance score is 60 (desktop: 65). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
800 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
Improve image delivery
600 KiB22 images could be 600 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 68 KiBAbout 68 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
knix.ca adds 283 ms
283 msknix.ca costs a phone 283 ms of main-thread work and 195 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Klaviyo adds 178 ms
178 msKlaviyo costs a phone 178 ms of main-thread work and 558 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
rebuyengine.com adds 124 ms
124 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 124 ms of main-thread work and 295 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 143 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
126 KiB126 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
67 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 67 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Chained critical requests
Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 11.8 MB in 524 requests
11.8 MBYour homepage downloads 11.8 MB in 524 requests on a phone: media 5.2 MB (2), scripts 2.7 MB (142) and images 1.7 MB (47). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
12 images in older formats
12 images (2.0 MB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 3.4 g of CO₂ per visit
3.35 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.35 g of CO₂e: 402.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility
ARIA attributes must conform to valid names (32 elements)
ARIA attributes must conform to valid names: 32 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
2 buttons without a name
2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (1 element)
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
6 tap targets too small
6 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
5 form fields without a label
5 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (4 elements)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 60 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 11 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (73 characters)
Your title is 73 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Buy The Most Comfortable Wireless Bras & Seamless Underwear Online – Knix”.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“The wait is over, darling.” and “The wait is over, darling.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://knix.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
370 internal links, 19 external
The homepage links to 370 pages on knix.com and 19 external pages.
4 checks passed
Meta description: 124 characters
Your meta description is 124 characters: “We make amazing wireless bras, period proof underwear, sports bras, loungewear and more. Designed with your comfort in …”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://knix.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Corporation.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
AI search readiness
Parts of the site are closed to 2 AI crawlers
Your robots.txt lets ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User) and Perplexity (PerplexityBot) read the homepage but closes other sections to them, so answers about those pages can't cite you.
3 checks passed
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,217 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
9 pages without a meta description
/pages/buy-more-save-more, /pages/category-sales-and-offers, /pages/contact-us, /pages/returns-and-exchanges, /pages/campaign-about-us and /pages/rewards and 3 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /pages/ambassador-program, whose canonical is /pages/campaign-ambassador-program. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
15 pages without an H1
/pages/accessibility-statement, /collections/bras, /pages/buy-more-save-more, /pages/category-sales-and-offers, /pages/contact-us and /pages/returns-and-exchanges and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 157 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
4 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.
No linked page is hidden from search
None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.
Every page has a title
All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
19 small tap targets
19 of 89 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
6 JavaScript errors while loading
6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
4 broken links to your own pages
4 links from your homepage to your own site are broken, for example https://knix.com/collections/bras (503).
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
6 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (knix.com).
Valid certificate (32 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for knix.com and is valid for another 32 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
http:// redirects to https
http://knix.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
knix.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.
DNSSEC is off
knix.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.
2 checks passed
Domain is 23 years old
23 yearsknix.com was registered in Oct 2003 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Oct 2027
knix.com is registered until Oct 2027.
Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
About 562 words of copy
The homepage carries about 562 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Buy 2 Bras, Save 10%” and “SHOP THE COLLECTION”.
47 calls to action
The homepage has 47 calls to action, for example “Buy 2 Bras, Save 10%”, “Contact” and “Contact Us”.
6 short forms
6 short forms (6 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be knix.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
Email authentication score: 60/100
Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.
1 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:ca._netblocks.mimecast.com include:_spf.google.com include:amazonses.com include:shops.shopify.com ~all”.

5Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Segment (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.
40 cookies set on arrival
